Make Your Move! Join the Fight in the Skies Society!

A Welcome Letter From Mike Carr

As designer of the DAWN PATROL® game and head of the FIGHT IN THE SKIES Society, I’d like to welcome you to our web site. In the gaming world, DAWN PATROL enjoys a unique status because of its humble origins, long history and devoted group of enthusiasts. It also has its own player community, the FITS Society, which dates back to June of 1969, when the first issue of the AERODROME newsletter was published. To further add to this lore, FIGHT IN THE SKIES was played as the very first event at the inaugural GEN CON® game convention on August 24th, 1968 and has been played there every year since.
